97 seized
New here, just seeing if anyone had pearls of wisdom 
97 Blazer sat for a good 5 years, hoping to soak the cylinders but I see now that the spark plugs are on the side behind the wheels, so not sure if that's the proper entry for soaking it? Is it even possible?
Thanks

You should be able to access the spark plug holes from the wheel wells, especially if you remove tires and pop off the mud deflector flaps. On the driver side there is one spark plug that is partially blocked by the steering shaft (I think it's #5?), which can be a challenge, but there's a couple ways you can get around that. Some people use a stubby socket with a wobble extension, and others have temporarily disconnected the steering shaft.
For those of us who have done a body-lift on their trucks it changes the angles and increases the fender gap enough to make it easy to access all 6 spark plugs.
